SPOILER ALERT: If you have not read DETECTIVE COMICS #30 and do not wish to know what happens, stop reading this post now (major spoilers ahead!).

There’s lots to talk about as THE FLASH creative team of Francis Manapul and Brian Buccellato take over the creative reins of DETECTIVE COMICS with issue #30! It’s a bold new direction for the Dark Knight, with Batman knee-deep in a new mystery involving a deadly new narcotic, Icarus, hitting the streets of Gotham City.

Don’t know about you, but we anticipate spending quite a bit of time in Gotham in the future, for what is shaping up to be one heck of an awesome television series.

Following the exploits of rookie detective James Gordon (played by Ben McKenzie), the upcoming Fox television show will explore the infamous titular city years before the Dark Knight first cast his vengeful shadow upon the criminal underground, back when Bruce Wayne was still a young boy that only recently saw his parents murdered right before his eyes.

It’s a huge day for Batman fans. First, we’re treated to a phenomenal new trailer for the next Arkham game, Batman: Arkham Knight, and now we’ve just learned who will be playing the man destined to become Batman on Fox’s Gotham.

Gotham just isn’t Gotham without Bruce Wayne.
So said Fox Entertainment chairman Kevin Reilly earlier today at the Television Critics Association winter press tour. Announced last year, Gotham is Fox’s upcoming Batman prequel that focuses on a younger Detective Jim Gordon as he comes into his own within the Gotham PD, facing corruption within the ranks as well as a burgeoning slate of outlandish super-villains.

We often hear that a picture is worth a thousand words. As writers, we take some exception to that but even we have to admit that nothing we say can adequately sum up the amazingness of the digital first Batman: Li'l Gotham series than just showing you this:

In BATMAN AND ROBIN #1, the acclaimed creative team of Peter Tomasi and Pat Gleason will explore the family dynamic of the Caped Crusader as Bruce Wayne battles the Gotham underworld with the help of his son, Damian, in the role of Robin.

One of the exciting Batman stories being told right now is the global proliferation of superheroes in BATMAN INCORPORATED. Bruce Wayne's enlisted the help of costumed crime fighters from around the world to enforce his brand of justice and prepare for a mysterious new enemy only known as Leviathan.
